MEAN

MEAN is a new trending technology stack giving a healthy competition to the existing LAMP stack. MEAN stands for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js.

MongoDB offers a more flexible, accommodating layer for storing data. Node.js provides a better nexus for running your server, while Express.js helps standardize how you build your websites. On the client, AngularJS provides a clean way of adding interactive functions and AJAX-driven rich components.

Though it is not throw away the rock-solid reliability of battle-tested tools like Apache, MySQL, or PHP. But for green-field projects that could benefit from flexibility, simplicity, and performance, going MEAN may make your life better.

There are a lot of popular websites and web applications which are running on MEAN stack. Ulbora is a content management system and blog platform built using MEAN stack. Another is Trakit.me, a personal activity tracking software application built using MEAN stack
